A Young Scholar’s Guide to Composers
A Young Scholar’s Guide to Composers shows how music impacts and is impacted by history and culture, events and beliefs. Composers create windows of understanding into the time, place, events, and norms which shaped their lives.
Music allows us an entirely unique vehicle of expression. You’ll consider what music really is—perhaps you’ll find through these lessons that you have a unique definition of what is or isn’t music. You may even find music to be funny!
This course provides a close-up look at famous composers, their music, and their times, with special attention to character traits and Christian testimony (or lack thereof). Even the musically challenged will enjoy this course! It’s perfect for grades four through eight, but is easily adaptable for younger and older students. Minimal teacher prep will return maximum enjoyment!
